Kate and Jon,I am a older school teacher who enjoys your show very much. You have shown what it takes to bring the right amount of discipline,structure, family bonding to a large family. It is remarkable how you both are able to do so well. The stress level due to the media and the news people is unbearable and I just wanted to let you both know people care and support you. I must point out Jodie Foster and Ron Howard worked on T.V. when they were young and they were not reported to the Child labor law organization. You will survive even though you may not think so at this time but God bless. Sheila Pridgeon

For the record, I like Kate. Chin up girl! Her brother, Kevin and sister-in-law Jodi should be ashamed. They are bad mouthing Kate & Jon and making accusations because they have it out for Kate. They wanted a piece of the proverbial pie. They wanted TLC to pay them for appearing on some of the episodes and Kate said no to that. Now they're really angry! They are getting paid to say the things they are saying. I think Kate is a good mom and she's trying hard to do right by her kids. We are always so quick to judge. Would I or could I have my life on a reality show? No way, not for any amount of money. They wanted it and did it to make ends meet for their children's sake. Jon cannot handle it and Kate can, end of story! That is the issue, a marriage can't work when there are fundamental differences like this. One wants to keep going and endure the celebrity staus and the other doesn't. That will end the marriage. The other stuff could be fixed, yes, even the alleged infidelities.

Hi! How are things going?I'm looking forward to reading your book!! Good Job Kate and especially Good Job to Jon for all the challenges to raising 8 kids!!I know alot of men out there who would have been gone!!!You guys are both doing a great job. I myself wish that ya'll had more quiet time!!Not only for Kate and Jon to have couple time,you reallyneed that time!!!I don't read or belive the media!!!Will Kate's book tour bring her to dallas,tx that's where I live!!Well Kate n Jon hang in there looking forward to the new season!!!take care!!!harriet

Ooooooooouch! I don't envy either one of you. Which one of us wouldn't welcome some financial help raising 8 children, especially when 6 come along at the same time. I hope you both can work through this angry and hurtful time and down the road find peace and contentment in your lives.

A NOTE TO JON AND KATE....WHATEVER YOU DECIDE, DIVORCE IS HARDEST ON THE CHILDREN, I SPEAK FROM PERSONAL EXPIERENCE. THE CHILDREN FEEL REJECTED, NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY ARE REASSURED MOMMY AND DADDY WILL ALWAYS LOVE THEM. FINANCES ARE NOT ALWAYS NUMBER 1,ALTHOUGH VERY IMPORTANT.(BELIEVE ME ,12 YEARS AFTER DIVORCE, AND WITH A GROWN SON W/ WITH MUTIPLE DISABLITIES, IM NOW STRUGGLING VERY HARD TO KEEP MY HOME IN N.Y.) I WOULD NOT TRADE THE JOY,OR STRESS, OF RAISING A VERY SPECIAL CHILD FOR ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD, I AM PART OF THE REASON HE IS ON THIS EARTH.PLEASE , THERE IS ANTHING AT ALL LEFT, WORK AS HARD AS YOU CAN ON IT. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER AND THE BEAUTIFUL HEALTHY CHILDREN YOU ARE BLESSED WITH. PLEASE REMEMEMBER THE LOVE YOU HAD ONCE. I MAY NOT HAVE MONEY, BUT I HAVE RICHES.............. ONE SECOND NOTE, I AM PRE-SCHOOL TEACHER OF 3-4YR OLDS ON L.I , AND AM HAPPY TO SEE THAT YOU DO SET BOUNDRIES FOR YOUR CHILDREN, IT DOES MAKE THEM REALIZE YOU CARE!!! YOUR PERSONAL FAMILY AND COUPLE PRIVACY HAS BEEN DESTROYED, MAKING IT HARDER TO WEATHER THIS STORM.ONE LAST NOTE, BE KIND TO EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a 20 year old young adult who was just diagnosed with Leukemia last november. Thank God I am doing very well and am in complete remission. Troughout my hospitilization my girlfriend and I would watch your show religiously because not just the kids; but the family brought a great feeling of love and hope in a time where I began to lose my faith. I fell in love with the love that you both have for your children. You guys were at a point in your life in the beginning of the show where surviviving this great endeavor was not guaranteed. However the bond that you shared as a family was enough to bring you to where you are now. However, fame happend. The number one priority for the family was to make sure that the children lived the best possible life they could; a healthy and prosperous life. But it seems as if that has changed, no longer are the children the point of the show but it's now almost become a 30 minute advertisement. My girlfriend and I have gone through more than anyone could imagine but because we shared such a great love and bond we overcame EVERY SINGLE trial and tribulation that life threw our way. You both have an even stronger bond that overpowers your own needs and wants. PLEASE PLEASE PLASE, John take a look at your life these last five years and think of the next twenty five for your children. Unless this show is complete fiction your wife and children love you so much and God has blessed you with such an amazing family, don't end it because society and the media have become an evil stigma towards this family. Kate, please find a way to reach to your husband and understand how hard these last few years have been for him. He went through so many ordeals for the sake of you and the children. You will not find a love like the one you have now, it does not exist. I beg you in the most selfish way, make it work because there are people, such as myself, who have been greatly affected by you guys. The smiles and enjoyment of life helped me get through some very dark days and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that. I hope to continue to see your wonderful children grow up and become the amazing men and women I know they will become.

I have been through two divorces, myself. I am married, for the third time. Through my experiences, I have learned so much. I would not change a thing about my life. I feel very wise today, as a result. I know that relationships are fragile. They need attention. Through divorce, I learned a lot about myself and what I can do by myself. I learned what I need to be happy and what I cannot live with. I learned that no relationship is perfect. I learned that time heals and it takes time to heal a broken heart. I learned to seek help rather than hold things in. I learned that I deserve to be loved and I am worthy of a good relationship. I learned that I have a good family and good friends. I learned that some friends cannot stay through rough times. Those are friends for a season, not for life. I learned that divorce is more than the loss of a spouse. You lose so much more. I learned that after the rain, there is REALLY a rainbow. You both seem like such good people. I hope that the world supports you and embraces you, rather than stand in judgement of you. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. I wanted to share a little of mine with you. I am sending my prayers, my thoughts and my lessons. God bless you and your family. Shari

I just want to say I am a fan of Kate's. She should keep her head up and continue to be the great person and mother she is. I have two young sons and I know being a parent is difficult, especially when you have eight, and you have many other stresses in your life.

I am just so sad. I really hoped that the troubles was more exaggeration for ratings. I think that they will look back and regret things. 10 months ago, they renewed their vows, now they are divorcing?? I think they should have given it more time. Their kids deserved that. So very sad for them, the kids, and the fans who loved them.

Jon & Kate,I am a 26 yr old who began watching your show Spring of 08' while being pregnant. I absolutly fell in love with your family. At that time I just began to build a family with my fiance. We now have a beautiful baby girl, Johana. She too is Korean and white. Many people remark how much Johana looks like your daughters. I am really sadden by the marital problems and family issues you all are going through. I know all families have their issues but to watch what once was a beautiful, happy, loving family crumble so suddenly with all the ugly tabloids just makes my heart sink. I pray that you both have it in you to forgive, forget and move on. For your families sake, for peace and for your children, you need to grasp what ever it is that is making you two so bitter and find that love you two once had for eachother, cuz I am pretty sure that love so strong doesn't just disappear that fast. Remember, noone is perfect, know your flaws, appreciate them, grow off of eachother, and remember nothing is better than family. I am so excited to begin building my family with my wonderful fiance,and beautiful daughter who by the way looks so much like Hanna, wish you could see a picture of her. Know that even though there are so many people out there saying nasty things they're are even more people out there rooting for you two to work out your issues and reunite, not for the stupid shows sake but for your happiness and for your kids.Maryland- Anna Buck

My Favorite Sites & Jon & Kate Blogs

Are there Any Fans Out There With Moment To Spare?

I am just a mom. One person that loves a show, and is sick to death of hate sites like Gosselins Without Pity getting a ridiculous amount of hits on their site. Now one of those people were me. After trying to get a post up a whopping 9 times it was my 10th and final time when I pretended to be one of the hate followers that it got printed. So only if you are a hater of the show, is when you get something posted. There are alot of serious sickos on that site. They have an axe to grind, a vendetta if you will. Just to get the show off the air because THEY feel its in the best interest for children they do not know, nor honestly care about. Its Kate they want to vilify. In their own sick minds if they can make it appear that THEY were the ones to get the show pulled from the air, they could feel vindicated.

I will try to blog about all the great things that made us fall in love with the kids, the family and their show. Because as a mom myself (along with being a pretty awesome wife I hope) I feel that no one, just because they did nothing other than to let you into their lives via TV, should be treated the way that they have been... Ideas for my site? Contact me at jonkatefanpage@gmail.com xoxo Baby Mama

P.S. Thank you Laura for having the coolest fan page on my space. This blog is dedicated to you."Enjoy YOUR Self!"- Hannah Gosselin
